The Vulcan is in good company

The restored Vulcan is currently at RAF Coningsby .

The last flying Vulcan bomber (dependant on the CAA certificates) was taxied at Coningsby and stood next to our only remaining flying Lancaster. The trip from Bruntingthorpe was uneventful and successful.

The two planes could be seen at the home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Both iconic British treasures of flight.

XH558 flew into Coningsby yesterday following a 16-year absence from Lincolnshire, back to one of the old omber bases where the Vulcans would have flown from originally. Hundreds gathered to watch the Vulcan make the landing.

The Vulcan bomber from the cold War was the last of its kind to fly from RAF Waddington in 1992.

XH558 has spent recent years in Bruntingthorpe being lovingly restored. She has flown to Lincolnshire for essential testing which is required by law, before her several planned appearances at air shows. Estimates are that there could be up to 18 air shows a year for this gracious lady.

Fingers are crossed for this delta lady as she performs for the officials, and we hope to see her around the country soon.
